Ruth lived a good long life! How blessed you are to have had that privilege you enjoyed!
And you have another privilege of seeing Ruth again in God’s new world where we can live as the Lord’s Prayer says, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
I wanted to express the sadness I feel for your entire family. I know all the kids had a wonderful time growing up and having the support of your parents. You have made many memories I am sure and those memories will last forever.
